Tomahawk Pow Wow Days 5K/10K/Fun Run

The 48th annual Pow Wow Days 5K, 10K, 1 Mile Fun Runs take place in conjunction with the annual 4th of July Lion's Day Festivities in Tomahawk. All races depart from Veterans Memorial Park on the beautiful Wisconsin River. Click HERE for a Google Earth Map of all race routes and details.  The 10K is run on a scenic route along the river towards the turn around point atop beautiful Kings Hill just past the historic Kings Dam. The 5K looped course is basically flat and follows the 10K route for approximately 2400 meters then cuts across the edge of the Tomahawk High School property and back to School Road before running into Somo Ave then back to Memorial Park on 6th St. The Mile Fun Run is also a looped course for all ages, however awards are only for those 12 and under. 5K/10K races start at 8:30 AM sharp and the Mile Fun Run begins around 9:30 AM, after the majority of the 5K participants have finished. 

Pre-registrant bib and t-shirt pick-up for all races starts at 7:00 AM under the gazebo in the park. Race day registration station closes at 8:00 AM with no guaranteed t-shirt. Race day online registration closes at 8:15 AM.  So, save money and get a t-shirt by registering early, prior to the last week in June. Please note that T-Shirts are only guaranteed with registrations before 6/13/2025.

The last few years we have had between 600-700 participants! Once again we will have a July 4th Independence Day "Most Patriotic" costume contest with prizes for the runners with the top three outfits.  The top one-hundred 10K finishers are guaranteed to receive a finishers 10K medal! There will be refreshments in the finishing corral for race finishers provided by Northwoods Vineyard Church.  Please remember that 5K and 10K races will start together. Eventually the races lead to a Y-intersection where the 5K runners take a sharp right turn onto school grounds and 10K runners go left continuing on King Road.

**NEW in 2025-->There will not be an Awards Ceremony, instead these awards can be picked up after you finish your race at the Awards Table which will be located under the gazebo.  Please ensure you have your race bib with you, as the awards volunteer will need to verify your place with the Pttiming live results.  

**In case of inclement weather the tentative plan would be to run the race the next day.  Please check your email and listen to the local radio station (WJJQ 92.5) for updates.
